First time chicken keeper. I’ve been researching about de-worming chickens twice a year with a medication. My chickens do free range for about an hour a day, they eat live slugs,beetles, earthworms and soldier fly larvae. I have been giving them DE (once a month for 1 week mixed in with their food) crushed garlic once a week and pumpkin seeds daily.
I plan to de-worm my flock with Safeguard (Fenbendazole). My chickens are 17 weeks old and not laying yet. Do you have to treat for roundworms first before using a more broad spectrum wormer like Safeguard?
Since I cannot find Wazine (Piperazine) What would you use instead to treat roundworms if treating for them is necessary prior to a more broad spectrum treatment?
